1,000s Turkish forces surround NATO’s Incirlik air base for ‘inspection’ amid rumors of coup attempt

All inputs and outputs to the Incirlik Air Base located in Adana have been closed as Turkish Minister of European Affairs cautions that it is just a "safety inspection" while local newspapers speculate that a second coup attempt may be underway.

Some 7,000 armed police with heavy vehicles have surrounded and blocked the Incirlik air base in Adana used by NATO forces, already restricted in the aftermath of a failed coup. Unconfirmed reports say troops were sent to deal with a new coup attempt.

According to the Turkish Minister for European Affairs, Omar Celik, this is just a routine "safety inspection." Hurriyet, by contrast, has raised concern that the closing may be tied to an attempt by the Erdogan regime to prevent a second coup attempt.

Incirlik Air Base, located in the province of Adana, is a critical NATO base in Turkey. The US maintains 50 to 90 tactical nuclear weapons at the base.

Local media has focused on the base after the failed coup in Turkey occurred the night of July 15. Although the main scenes of the events were Istanbul and Ankara, Incirlik was shut down for a time by local authorities shortly after the putsch, and several Turkish soldiers from the base were deemed by Turkish officials to be involved in the overthrow attempt.

The lockdown at Incirlik follows a massive wave of protests on Thursday when pro-Erdogan nationalists took to the streets yelling "death to the US" and called for the immediate closure of the Incirlik base. Security personnel dispersed the protesters before they were able to make it to the base.

I bet russia will give them some new ones as they did it with Iran.

And when Turkey is kicked out of NATO, abolish NATO. It's out-lived it's usefulness.

And this...

"German court bans Erdogan video call to anti-coup rally

Germany needs it's own nukes, too!

Nukes have PREVENTED major wars, not started them, since th end of WW2.

How do you not know that those '1000 troops' are not htere to help protect the base and protect Americans from terrorist threats, or from violent locals or some shit?

One of the worrying tweets:

"SECURITY MESSAGE FOR US CITIZENS! STAY BACK FROM #Incirlik Air Base and Us Consulate Adana / Turkey next 24 hours."
